Cuando Muere Una Dama

Pay attention, my people
I have a request for you
It will seem different when you hear it in my voice
I will sing my wishes as I leave them in the pantheon
Women also die and I want celebration

I want one last party
Over there at my funeral
All those who loved me
Will have to celebrate it
Remembering my smile
And my way of crying

I was a strong warrior
Who fought for her children
Remember well that in life
Their mother did not give up
With her head held high
Bid her farewell with honor

I want my norteño group
And let it be with the tololoche
Have a drink for me
And also a touch or two
The daughter of the town has left
The woman with the big dreams

And don't cry for me, my people
You just collect royalties
And my boys from the wild group keep going
The smoking

To all my enemies
Who wanted to imitate me
Your nightmare is over
But they will always envy me
I was always the favorite
They couldn't reach me

I had plenty of loves
I know they will miss me
Those who touched my lips
Will savor them
But the love of my life
Is the one who will cry the most

To my dear family
My parents and my siblings
I know well that in the afterlife
We will meet again
To laugh and enjoy
How much we succeeded

And don't miss me, my bosses
That your rebellious daughter
Will live forever

I'm off to another concert
I'm going to sing with Adán
I have a duet pending
Over there with his dad
Saul Viera and Selena
Will also welcome me

That in my beautiful Playa Larga
There be one last party
Let my brothers sing to me
My mother distribute flowers
My father show photographs
And my sister read my letter

Have tequila and beer
Let the bands play loud
Release butterflies for me
Applaud me with your hands
Because that's how they celebrate
When a lady dies
